Improving access to oral health care for disadvantaged populations is often difficult in the rural setting where workforce capacity is challenged by high demand for episodic care, lengthy waiting lists and absence of recall. For some people, lifestyles are not necessarily chosen or easily changed. Analyzing the stories people tell about their lives in the rural setting will offer explanations of how their doctors and dentists can effectively integrate their oral health and general health.

在农村地区，改善弱势群体获得口腔保健的机会往往很困难，因为对间歇性护理的需求很高，等待名单很长，而且没有召回，这对劳动力能力构成了挑战。对一些人来说，生活方式不一定是可以选择的，也不容易改变。分析人们讲述的关于他们在农村生活的故事，将解释他们的医生和牙医如何有效地将他们的口腔健康和一般健康结合起来。
